Testimonials

"Inside ALPHA's success has been built on scientifically proven investment methods. Only a few insiders understand the power (and returns) behind Prof. Altman's Z-Score model. So far, the main trouble with this model was that we had to have it calculated internally, as no provider did the job right. Finally, we discovered Short Screen; for an incredibly low price, you get it all. Congratulations and our heartfelt thanks to the Short Screen team for this amazing tool!"
